Rare Body Shells

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this has been covered before.

I'm just wondering what rare shells people may have? (Any scale) like bodies that are no longer made, or were really limited edition, or maybe we're not for sale in the UK.

Myself, I've got 2 Pikes Peak Escudo shells in 1/10th that aren't made any more (that I've been told) pics to follow.

So what has everyone got?

I did spy a Cossie shell on here the other day.

Kyosho texco Sierra cosworth passed through me awhile ago probably the rarest shell I've had. I had a tamiya audi a4 redbull too perfect condition I think that's what made my tt01 get such a good price.

I bet any perfect condition shell from the 90s would be rare now.

I painted these about 9 years ago. The spoiler for the white and red one is in the cupboard somewhere along with the front wings. Both need little tweaks to make them perfect.

At the time of painting and stickering them, it was cool, lol.

Now I'm not too sure.

got to love the pikes peaks shells pal. im sure team blue groove do a repro, however they are based in canada and i got stung for import duty.

 

as for rare shells im a ford nut. (sadly - queue the anti ford fans lol) so i got all the tamiya ford escort cossie bodies. whale tail, wrc. and as some one mention i today received a custom moulded sierra cossie which is good but it isnt tamiya good.

This shell (along with the car itself) is 18 years old.......It's on a 1/8th scale, 330mm wheelbase Sinyih.........Not made anymore, but, after an 8 year search, I have managed to source an identical one, brand new & unused......I'm awaiting delivery, hopefully in a month or so............ :)

In the mid 90's I had a Ford XR2i 1/10 shell I brought from a local model shop, I can't remember what brand it was, possibly Kyosho. I have never seen another one of those shells so I'm guessing it was pretty rare, I do have an old undeveloped film roll with some photos of it somewhere (remember those!) I will get it developed one day!

 

My second RC car I brought after my Tamiya hornet was a  Kyosho ultima flatnose 911 turbo model, I have been trying to track down another, but seem pretty rare with this shell- Infact this is one of the few pictures I have seen on the internet of one.
